Abstract

The paper assesses the inequalities of the production of geographical knowledge mainly against the backdrop of the East-West relations, which still dominate Hungarian practice. However, it also offers examples of Anglo-American hegemony making itself felt more acutely; or of Hungarian geographers, at the receiving end of these dimensions of hegemony, producing hegemony in a different system of relations. Investigating the political economic power relations underlying this hegemony and the social agents involved in ‘hegemony-producing’ helps to establish potential strategies of putting an end to the inequalities of academic knowledge production. Some possibilities of these strategies are outlined.
